The Lathums would "love" to collaborate with Louis Tomlinson after supporting him on tour.

The Wigan indie rockers are currently touring Europe with the former One Direction singer and they're keen to get in the studio with him in the future.

Frontman Alex Moore told the Daily Star newspaper's Wired column: "He's very talented. I'd love to work with Louis."

Being on the road with him has been "mad", and they've enjoyed getting the chance to be around the 'Written All Over Your Face' hitmaker.

Alex added: "It's been a made experience, it's been very good.

"He's a really nice fella to be fair, he's not up himself. He's a very down-to-earth fella actually, I think he's really nice.

"He has loads of tunes as well, he's done really well for himself."

Alex - whose band topped the charts earlier this year with their second album 'From Nothing to a Little Bit More', having already done so with 2021's 'How Beautiful Life Can Be' - has also been impressed with the "full-blown community" Louis' fanbase has turned into, and the support they show for his support acts on tour.

Now, The Lathums - whose lineup is completed by guitarist Scott Concepcion, drummer Ryan Durrans and bassist Matty Murphy - are focused on the future after dropping new song 'Thoughts of A Child' with more in the pipeline.

Alex teased: "You can never count us out in terms of lots of new music.

"My mind wouldn't allow me to stop, I'd be walking up the walls if I didn't release any music, it's coming in good time.

"We have always got something to look forward to, there's no slowing down."
